The Atlas of Dinosaurs

The Atlas of Dinosaurs presents an in-depth look at 50 dinosaurs from around the world. The selection spans from the Triassic period right through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. From the Triassic Cynognathus found in various locations throughout the world, to the Late Cretaceous Oviraptor found in Mongolia, each featured dinosaur is examined in detail and its location pinpointed on a map. The Atlas of Dinosaurs describes the likely behaviour, habitat and lifecycle of each animal. As fossils are the only source of information on these creatures, experts can only suggest what these incredible animals may have been like - even their skin colour can only be guessed at. Their physical features are examined and their behavioural tendencies are described. Specification boxes give information on their likely diet, weight, length and height and also the meaning of their name. Discover the fantastic, extraordinary and outlandish types of dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth, long before Man appeared on the planet. This book is essential reading, not only for dinosaur enthusiasts, but for anyone intrigued by nature at its most majestic.
